Often those of Celtic, Slavic, Greek roots do not.

Greenfire there are tons of poskim on this subgect. Lots hold when u give a name after someone the correct spelling is what most people write even if u like it anotherway and it only matters at a kesubah get and chlitzah. Some mesudar kedushins even check the witnesses names spelling. Once a chupah got delayed almost ahour cuse of this.

I grew up spelling my name Masha, mem, alef, shin, alef. For the kesuba the MS told me I have to spell it mem, shin, heh. So that's what it says. I don't use my Hebrew name but when our chilren found out that spelling, the boy nearest to bar mitzvah was horrified to think that his parents would be listed on his invitation as Binyomin and "Moshe"

Tema is translated as 'perfect'. It has nothing to do with the name Tamar.
It is spelled tes, ayin, mem, alef.

In what language does it mean perfect? Does anybody meanings of Hentsha Pessel Liba Yitel Charna Kriendel and other yiddish names?

Tema as "perfect" makes sense too, although this is never something I found.

Now, do you really think Jews were like trashy people today who invent names? No, they thought names were important and holy and had meaning.

Hentsha is most probably from Chana
Pessel from Perel or Basia
Liba is "beloved"
Yitel is from Yehudit
Charna I told you
Kreindel is "little crown"

wondering if anyone know the origins of the name Cressel or what it means

in short: "little grace"
in long: Kressel is a pet form of Kressia, the Yiddish form of Ladino name Gracia (translation of Chana).

not all yiddish names comes from lushon hakodesh.. Think mushka in lubavitch thats a russian word. Or the name aiggy. Certainly you will only meat hungarian aiggys. other names come from the yiddish/hungarian/etc themselves think frimet, sheindel... these are not from hebrew.

Has anyone seen it spelled טעמע? Or it’s usually טעמא? Looking through threads as there was a mix up with my grandmothers spelling and curious to understand if טעמע is even a real name

It's a Shayla for a rav, not for Imamother.
A family member of mine was told that many Yiddish names were lost in the war so it could be that that's how your grandmother spelled it even though that's not the typical spelling.
